Brisk Collector. Andrena nitida, Mining Bee, on Weeping Willow, Canon-Pond, Sint Urbanusweg, Venlo, The Netherlands

Brisk wind, cloudy day, and only 7 C... But there I was with Olymp looking at two pretty Weeping Willows next to the Canon-Pond. Some insects were out as well seeking nutrients.

Here's a Mining Bee (thanks to Bernhard Jacobi) braving the cold. He seems to be savoring nectar and not collecting pollen.
